Description

Definition

BREGKNOWHOW_ALL indicates whether the respondent knows how to register the child's birth with the state.

BREGKNOWHOW_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BREGKNOWHOW_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., BREGKNOWHOW_02, BREGKNOWHOW_03, BREGKNOWHOW_04, BREGKNOWHOW_05, and BREGKNOWHOW_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If BREGKNOWHOW_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BREGKNOWHOW_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.
